That would be a positive statement because it would imply the other
people are normal, and Bryan was one of the best, which is a positive
statement.
Saying "one of the few remaining sane" people is a generally negative
statement that is judgemental towards the whole community, which is
what the the CoC/proctors are supposed to proactively discourage.
I think much worse things have been said on this list before, but
still statements like that are the basis of a poisonous
environment. All i was asking ciaranm is to be nice to people.
